History and Origin of Cities of Sigmar

The history of the Cities of Sigmar dates back to the Great Crusade of Sigmar, when the God-King of Mankind set out to reunite the lands of the Mortal Realms and establish strongholds of order.

Over time, these watchtowers have evolved into metropolises where the different races of Men, Elves, and Dwarves live side by side, working in harmony to maintain order.

Each city within the Cities of Sigmar has a unique character, with its own culture, government, and fighting styles, but all share a common commitment to protecting humanity and fighting for its survival.
